Genius Warlock-Episode 686

686. nuns (7)

“It's not too late.”

Kevin broke through the floor.

He rescued Joanna from the dust and said,.

At his sudden appearance, 55 girls and 56 nuns who had been reciting prayers fell silent for a moment and looked at the altar with blank eyes..

Ah, correction.

To be exact, I looked at the place that was the altar..

When Kevin broke through the floor, the altar made of the nuns' tombs was destroyed..

In addition, the gold thread, pure white lace, and perfumed oil in a jar that had been placed in front of the altar were overturned and scattered on the floor..

It was no longer an altar or anything..

At that horrendous sight, not only the girls, but even the nun, Sister Della, who planned the whole thing, looked shocked and questioned..

How on earth did Kevin sneak up here?.

Of course, there was a group of paladins standing guard around here..

A paladin who senses not only black magic but also the presence of magic better than anyone else..

It was not for nothing that a paladin was left at the scene of a sacred ceremony. This was to prevent unexpected access..

But to the wizard... I also couldn't understand how it could be so easily penetrated by a red man wizard..

Sister Della looked at the Paladins around her with all those questions, and the Paladins quickly made a gesture saying they didn't know either..

If I had known, I would have responded somehow..

However, Della could not easily believe that. How can a paladin just miss one wizard? Just as I was about to ask about this, someone said.

“government ordinance······?”

In response to that sound, Della and the Paladin turned their heads in the direction where Kevin was. and could see.

What a huge ball of light standing behind Kevin..

The mass of light had green limbs and an earthy body, similar to a bear. But what stood out the most was the presence, a clear presence that seemed not of this world..

It was a spirit. An earth spirit in the shape of a bear.

Kevin borrowed the power of a spirit born from the hand of God and sneaked into this place, even fooling the Holy Knight's eyes..

Not only that, he even tried to use the power of the spirit to tear the black velvet that was wrapped around Joanna..

The velvet that is under the Duchess's influence and cannot be removed by magic..

Squeaky······!

Velvet being torn little by little by the spirit's paws..

Della, seeing that, suddenly came to her senses and shouted. She didn't know that if she did it wrong, the ritual might actually be interrupted. It shouldn't have been like that..

“Paladins, stop them!! You keep praying!!!”

Della's desperate cry.

More than a hundred people who heard that cry all did as she told them to do..

The girls and nuns who stopped praying at Kevin's sudden appearance knelt again and prayed with their hands together, and then the torn velvet reattached and tried to bind Joanna's body..

Strange phenomenon that cannot be explained even by magic).

Meanwhile, the Paladins drew their weapons sworn to God and rushed towards Kevin..

The intention is to prevent Joanna from being rescued and at the same time kill Kevin..

However, Kevin did not panic and responded calmly..

He completely entrusted Joanna's rescue to a spirit in the shape of a bear, and then activated his magic..

[Diastrophism)]

Wide-range earth magic that distorts the entire surrounding terrain.

Magical power spread widely in the form of ripples centered on the ground where Kevin was standing, and the terrain began to distort, forming a fault as if exploding..

Quagwagwagwagwa-!

Similar to waves made of stones and dirt.

The waves spread violently in all directions, making loud noises and shaking..

At this rate, not only could the Holy Knight's movement be blocked, but the girl's and nun's prayers could also be blocked..

If that delicate body is hit by waves made of stones and dirt, you won't be safe..

of course-

[Holy Light)]

-Although the paladins did not leave it alone,.

The paladins who were rushing past the nuns and girls activated their holy magic as soon as Kevin used his magic..

The God-given power that renders black magic ineffective and even greatly weakens the power of magic..

As brilliant yellow lights flashed everywhere, the waves of the earth that seemed like they would overturn everything at any moment subsided like a lie and fell asleep right in front of the girls..

After all, it was a holy law. The power that has maintained human order for a long time.

“die!”

but it was okay.

This much was already expected..

“It's now.”

Pfft! Wow!! Wow!-!!!

Kevin signaled someone for help..

Then, a small column of water filled with white foam burst out from between the cracks in the floor..

Shoot aaaaa━━!!

The ice spirit that Kevin had summoned to the water pipe while moving underground responded, and the water pouring from the burst water pipe moistened the entire basement of the convent..

Originally, they wanted to sweep the entire underground with a large amount of water, but that seemed difficult due to the small size of the water pipes..

One, it was okay.

There is so much you can do with just a little water..

As if to prove this, Kevin asked a spirit in the form of a blue mermaid who suddenly appeared next to him to freeze the entire underground..

After hearing Kevin's request, the mermaid-shaped spirit made a gesture, and following the gesture, the interior was instantly covered with pure white ice crystals..

Blah blah blah blah━━!!

A horrifying sound of flesh cracking and cracking resounded, and the entire basement was covered in ice..

Of course, everything inside that basement also froze..

A nameless tombstone, a coffin, a praying girl, a nun, and even a paladin blessed with the Holy Law..

“What, what??!”

A young paladin was astonished and let out a white breath..

He looked embarrassed, but he seemed surprised that the ice did not disappear even though he used holy magic..

But it wasn't surprising.

If it was ice made by magic, it should have disappeared, but the ice made now is ice made from real water and the power of spirits..

In other words, it was safe to say that it was pure nature itself..

So it was only natural that it would not disappear even with the Holy Law..

In order for a paladin to escape from this ice, he had to use his blessed body and break it with physical force, rather than using holy magic to return it to nothingness..

“Everyone wake up with strength! this much ice-”

-deeply!

Kevin, who knew this fact, also had no intention of waiting quietly..

With dexterous movements that belied a wizard, Kevin created several tomahawks by molding the ice around him and threw them so quickly that it could almost be said at the same time..

The paladin, who was preoccupied with escaping from the cold cold and ice that bound his body, was unable to avoid the flying tomahawk, and ended up getting stuck between his eyes..

Just like that, a group of paladins fell to just one wizard..

With meticulous planning and a nimble response from the spirit and wizard himself, taking into account the characteristics of the sacred law,.

There was silence in the ice-covered basement, and the girls and nuns all looked at Kevin..

Kevin, who holds the power to save everyone's life and death.

Kevin looked at them for a moment, then withdrew his gaze from his wife and approached Joanna..

Considering that the nuns took the risk of secretly taking Joanna, it seems that Joanna was the core of the ritual..

Considering the nature of the mission, it was right to take care of Joanna first. She was also Zeno's acquaintance..

Anyway, based on his own judgment, Kevin postponed the girl and the nun and took care of Joanna first..

Wow!!!

Perhaps because the velvet was frozen, or because the prayers had stopped, the velvet, which was playing like a living creature, tore more easily than expected..

“Are you okay? Sir.”

Kevin asked Joanna how she was doing..

She stumbled, but luckily there didn't seem to be any major problems..

“yes······. It's okay, you don't need to worry. Thank you for your help.”

Kevin listened to Joanna and checked her condition..

There were some scratches on his face, but other than that there seemed to be no problem..

“hmm? Sir, sir. Seongbeop······.”

Kevin noticed something while examining Joanna's condition and asked:.

I could not feel the slightest energy of Holy Law in Joanna’s body..

“····It was taken away.”

Joanna answered calmly..

The loss of the holy law at the core of the Paladin was as big a deal as the sky falling, but it was a possible response because there was something more important than that right now..

Kevin asked who stole the sacred law. I wonder who on earth could take away the sacred law bestowed by the being who manages the world?.

When asked about this, Joanna pointed ahead..

There was nothing at the tip of that finger.

Kwakwak!!

Immediately after, a yellow sword fell from the sky..

Kevin escaped back with Joanna with the help of the spirits..

As Kevin dodged, the yellow sword crossed the air and hit the ice-covered ground, splitting the ground and scattering ice pieces in all directions..

“Did that woman steal it??”

Kevin asked, looking at Sister Della, who was holding a long sword made from pure sacred law..

Joanna nodded..

“yes······.”

“I'm embarrassed.”

Sister Della said, pointing at Kevin with a long sword made from Holy Law..

“I knew I would be interrupted, but I never expected I would be interrupted by a wizard... Even for a wizard like you. It's a bit surprising..”

“Everything is surprising.”

Kevin reacted indifferently..

But the nun just had the same reaction.

“No, that's surprising. Really. Honestly, I thought you wouldn't bother me. Because you are experiment number 162... Of course I thought there would be a lot of resentment in the world..”

The nun spoke in a tone that made it seem like she knew something, and she did..

I learned a few things about the archive while serving as Roderick's attendant. I also knew something about that disciple..

The sad yet funny background of going from an experiment in the archive to becoming a disciple of the archive..

“I don't understand. Could you please answer? Why are you stopping me? You, who lost your family and friends before your eyes because you were a red man, know better than anyone else what is wrong with this world. I'm just trying to make it right. Oh, you don’t know? Shall I let you know??”

“No, it's okay. Because I'm not interested. I'm only disturbing you because it's my job..”

Kevin answered without a moment of hesitation, as if he really wasn't interested..

Right now, saving Joanna and interfering with Della's consciousness was just something I did because I was the student of the Archive and a professor at the Magic Tower..

doing one's duty.

“under······.”

After hearing the answer, Sister Della let out a low laugh..

Well done!

With his body strengthened by holy techniques, he immediately closed the distance and cut Kevin horizontally..

Kevin's upper and lower body split in two.

However, Kevin's body, which was thought to be split in half, was made of ice, and the real Kevin had already moved far away..

Kevin left Joanna in the care of an earth spirit in the form of a bear and then rushed towards Sister Della with the ice spirit..

Kevin approaches quickly, sliding on the pure white ice scattered everywhere..

Sister Della tried to swing the sword made with holy magic again, but Kevin did not miss the timing of pulling back the sword and struck the frozen ground, throwing a large amount of ice fragments and an ice spear at Sister Della..

Shoot ahhh!!

A sharp sound piercing the air.

Because it was an ice shard made with the power of a spirit, it could not be nullified by holy law, but Sister Della did not panic and used the holy law she had stolen to create a glowing yellow curtain to block it..

“I'm disappointed. Do you think you can stop me with just the power of the spirits??”

Della asked confidently..

It was true that Holy Law had a strong correlation with black magic and magic, but that was not the whole story..

In addition to its properties that are compatible with black magic and sorcery, holy magic also had the power to dramatically increase the physical abilities of the blessed and grant powerful physical power..

As proof of this, not a single ice shard thrown by Kevin passed through the veil created by holy law..

Not only that, Sister Della did not stop at this, but gathered holy magic in the air, created several blades, and threw them at Kevin..

“Pierce through.”

A blade made of pure sacred law without any weapon as a medium..

The blade flew forward at Sister Della's command..

A skill that most paladins cannot imitate..

The beautiful yet deadly blade cut through the air and struck Kevin, and Kevin asked the spirit to build a huge ice barrier in the path of the blade..

Wow!! Wow!! Cooung!!

A multi-layered ice barrier erected as the ground shakes..

However, Sister Della's blade pierced it lightly and aimed at Kevin..

Even though holy law cannot nullify the power of spirits, it is possible to overwhelm it..

Kevin manipulated the ice on the ground to change the terrain and narrowly avoided the flying blade of light using his agile body movements..

At that moment, Sister Della closed the distance again and swung the blade made of sacred law sharply..

The ice and floor cut like butter. Stones and ice fragments flying everywhere.

Fortunately, I was able to avoid it because Kevin's spirit pulled me..

“okay!”

Sister Della shouted, swinging the huge blade made of sacred law indiscriminately like a stick..

“I became a dog!”

Della's body was strengthened by the power of the Holy Law, and her movements were incredibly fast for a nun..

“Even though I lost my parents, siblings, and compatriots! I became a dog because I was captivated by the sweet position of being the archive's disciple.!!”

Thanks to this, the blade of light made of Holy Law targeted Kevin, creating an afterimage like a typhoon made of blades..

“Forgetting how to be angry and how to hate. I have adapted to this wrong world!! Isn't it?-”

-puck!!

Della, who had been shouting while swinging her knife at random, closed her mouth with a dull sound and took a step back..

The silence colder than ice that covered the basement fell for an instant and everyone looked at Kevin..

Kevin wore vambraces and gaiters made of ice on his limbs..

He predicted Sister Della's attack trajectory and counterattacked with only this minimal armor..

He overcame the onslaught of Della, who received the blessing of Holy Law, through his own strength..

At that moment when everyone was shocked by the unbelievable sight, Kevin opened his mouth..

“Just say three things.”

“······.”

“First, the world has always been wrong. Ancient, medieval and present. With plunder, slavery, and war... In this world, such wrong things have always existed, endured, and overcome..”

“······.”

“Second, I never forgot my anger, and I never stopped hating. Of course I plan on getting revenge. In my own way, according to my will.”

“······.”

“Third and last, do you think you are doing it according to your own will? I don't think so?”
